We created this blog to document our journey into parenthood. We are adopting a child from Ethiopia and invite you to follow along. Sunday, April 19, 2015. It's been awhile. Over a year in fact. To look back at how long my pen has been silent on this blog is startling. The time flew and yet it crept. So much change has happened in our lives. My Daddy is gone. We have a son! Life has cycled through. A death, then a birth. I was living each day in miserable agony. Thank you for following.Welcome back.

We were ON OUR WAY TO MEET OUR BOY! But now it has! And though it ...

We created this blog to document our journey into parenthood. We are adopting a child from Ethiopia and invite you to follow along. Monday, January 28, 2013. Deep thoughts on being the Mama of a One-year-Old. I imagine that God's timeline is not our own, in fact He has no sense of time as we do.
